In Case Of Fire How Women Should Act
When their Clothing is in Flames

| DIR. John Marshall, f. r. s., writes
as follows:
A girl or woman who meets with
this accident (of setting fire to her
clothes) should Immediately lie down
on the floor, and 80 anyone who goes
10 her assistance should instantly, if
she still be erect, make her lie down,
or, ii noedful, throw her down into
horizontal position and keep her in it.
Sparks fly upwards and flames ascend
with great rapidty, and, as result
well known to experts, the fatality of
Disagreement in these lamentable cases
is due to the burns inflicted about the
body, neck, face, and head, and not to
injuries of the lover limbs. Now the
very moment that the person whose
clothes are on fire is in horizontal
position on fiat surface the flames
will still ascend, but only the air and
| not the flames encircle their victim.
Time is thus gained for further action
and in such crisis in fight against
fire few seconds are precious, nay
priceless. Once in a prone position,
the person SO afflicted may crawl TO a
bell-pull or to door, 80 as to clutch
at one or to open the other to obtain
help. The draught from an open door
into the room would serve to blow the
flames, if any, from the body or
again, still crawling. the sufferer may
be able TO secure a rug or table. cloth
or other articles at hand, to smother
any remaining flamts, for as soon as
the horisontal position is assumed, they
have no longer much to feed upon, and
may either 90 out, as the phrase is or
may accid, Dtly or intentionally be ex.
tinguished as the person rolls or moves
upon the floor. In any case, not only
is the time gained, but the injury in-
flicted is minimizcd In the event of
the conditions not being self-help, but
assistance from another, if it be man
that comes to the rescue, having first
or instantly thrown the girl down, it is
easy 10 take off his coat and stfe the
diminished flames with this or some
other suitable covering, the flames
playing upward now from the lower
limbs or the lower part of the body of
the PROSTATE fellow creature. If it be
woman that rushes to give aid. this
last-named condition suggests that the
safer mode of rendering it is to ap.
proach the sufferer by the head ard
fling something over the lower part of
the body, for fear OF setting fire to her
self.
If, in these fearful accidents, the
horizontal position be assumed or en-
forced, there could be, in short, COM
parative immunity aud limited injury.
If not, what must happens The fire
will mount the flames (and it is these
which will do the injury will envelop
the body inside and outside the clothes
and will reach the neck and head, and
then, indeed, they may be smothered
by coat Or wrapper or rug, while the
victim is frightfully disfgured or doom.

The proper time to begin watermel-
on culture is the year before the crop
is to be raised. A sward is the best
possible land, since it is comparatively
free from insects and at the same time
rich in the natural constituents of
growth. 1t should be powed as early
in the autumn as possible If this il
done many insects will be killed and
the soil will be so far. rotten by the
time the melons are to be planted,
whether they be water or muskmelons,
that the soil may be brought into per.
feet condition for the subsequent cult
vation.
AS to this and the fertilization, the
soil for watermelons and cantaloupes
should be very light, and although the
crop does best when the showers are
frequent, yet nothing is SO injurious as
to keep them too damp. A wet soil Is
very unfavorable, and as the roots grow
as fast as the tops, too much working
around the plants will not answer. On
heavy lands where the attempt is made
to grow them, provided the season is
long enough, a deep hole is dug,
stones or chips put in, and we'll rotted
manure placed over them. The ma
nure is then covered with few inches
of rich dirt and the seed planted. This
gives thorough undertaking, provid-
ed the ground is also DRAINED other.
wise and permits of the air and heat
entering, the cold moisture being either
evaporated or allowed to pass below.
The plants should be well worked un-
til they begin to run. Then only the
ground before the running vines should
be worked, but the grass and weeds
should be pulled out. 1t has been
claimed that by pinching back the
vines after the fruit has set the melons
will be better and larger, but such has
not always proved true. The best
fertilizer is plenty of well rotted ma
nure, with handful of a mixture of
ashes and superphosphate around the
ground over which the plants run,
about the time of the ripening of the
fruit.-Farm, Field and ,Stockma,s.
